So i just realized i got 0 IRL friends, the ones i considered best friends should not be considered that way at all. Whenever i dissapear or w/e for weeks or a month, the only one who actually takes effort to make contact is me, for 5 years the only reason they have called is because they have a missed called from me, so i just realized they can't be considered friends all to much :O

That's.. sad

Find people who are the same race and make them your friend, more get together that way!

"Hello, fellow white cracker!"

"Why hello to you as well, wonderbread!"

Somehow, I don't see that working out too well. Instead... break social molds... don't prove them.

LOL @ the forever alone on the first page. first thing that came to mind after reading the OP.
I pretty much agree with datora here. but i wouldn't expect less from someone who've seen through more than i have.

But to put my own thoughts here, I don't have many IRL friends, maybe just two or three, with the rest just aquaintances. I'm not really very social so that's not surprising. however, i can at least say those three would be the friends i'd be with in a pinch.

I guess it's not surprising how many loners are on this site posting in this thread. I consider myself mostly a loner, I gotta have plenty of "me" time away from people on a regular basis, and I'm pretty shy in new situations, but I also have a small circle of long time close friends, most of whom I've known for 10-20 years, 3 of whom I consider to be practically family.

It's not that hard to make new friends if you want to, it's just a question of a) finding the right place or situation to meet people, b) actually trying to talk to someone, and c) finding common ground to make a connection, usually through talking about mutual interests. Most of you kids who are in school already have a place where you can interact with other people. Of course, friendships do require maintenance, and if you're not willing to invest the time to reach out & keep in touch with your pals or your family, don't expect them to make the effort either.

Having friends also does not always mean having to spend money to see them, although having spending money certainly helps. People who leech free content off of the internet ought to be pretty resourceful in coming up with cheap entertainment.

being a loner is fine, so long as people knows you exist, if you truly are a loner then you`d be shut from your house and only your family know that you exist.

i myself dont have that much friends, i could count them on one hand, plus i wouldn't consider them as true friends, maybe just a buddy or something like that.

Friends vs acquaintance.

You actually have to put in effort with friends. You don't have to do shit all for acquaintances.

That's probably why you don't have friends you lone wolf.

BrownMasterV · « **Reply #26 on:** July 17, 2011, 05:33:08 AM »

I have some friends :3

I also have some people whom I want to get to know better but they ignore the fuck out of me grr

Mistgun_Zero · « **Reply #27 on:** July 17, 2011, 08:40:15 AM »

My collection of friends is also kinda rare. The one true friend I had was in 10th grade. Its been almost 4 years since we have met each other but we still have that relationship when we meet online, unfortunately that also happens rarely.

Right now, I have two close ones, I don't know whether to classify them as reliable friends or not, one's a bit selfish but also useful, other is a bit more troublesome.

My french teacher actually made me realize the difference between a friend and a true friend. I'm one of those people that doesn't make a lot of friends, mostly because I'm not into doing all those activities that they like that require money. I'm not into going to bars, clubs or whatever.

However, I'm lucky to have made more than a few true friends that I've had since highschool; people that I trust and enjoy the company of. However, because of the hard financial times in the United States and some of the careers we're working towards, after I get out of college I may find that myself and some of them will be busy in other parts of the world (like one of my best friends that is a teacher in Japan now. Thanks to the internet, we've been talking and playing games together ever since he left 4 years ago. I'm glad it's not like people just disappear anymore, which has happened to two people I used to consider best friends in the past). We talk about it often though, and all of us have plans settle down here once we have the skills and experience to make it wherever.

Friends are awesome, being someone who's just been to the army for six months, I've got to praise them. What is homo in real life, was friendship at the barracks... errrr, still as long as the balls don't touch. I do enjoy a crapload of solitude myself, loneliness is another thing then

True story. I still talk to a lot of my buddies. But it's different 'cause these are also the guys watching (or watched) your six. I look at my buddies that never did time compared to my buddies that did or are still in, totally different mentality etc. Short on cash? Need a ride? Hungry? Girlfriend broke up with you? They will get you laid that night. Dragging ass? They will motivate you. Shit like that, they take care of their people. And they are always down for beer pong, even on sundays, the night before a post run. And now that I live like 15 minutes from Pendelton, where my brother is stationed at, been hanging around a lot of Marines. Same story. Meeting dudes for the first time and they're all trying to get me drunk. Then you go out and do retarded shit.

I mean, there's some folks out there that are cool as shit but most best friends I have I met during my time in.

Maybe he should join? Remember, it's not just a job, it's an adventure! Haha... oh man

Sometimes I feel bad that I have only have 5 good friends. Now I read this thread and feel bad for ever thinking that

SirSkyRider · « **Reply #32 on:** July 18, 2011, 05:02:31 AM »

The friend scale goes like this:

Lv1 Mate = Person you hang out with from time to time
Lv2 Friend = Person you hang out with on a regular basis
Lv3 Good Friend = Person you hang out with and whom you take on camping trips and festivals
Lv4 Best Friend = Person you'd lend a 1000$ in cash without setting up an I.O.U.
Lv5 Very Best Friend = Person you'd take along to a bank robbery and invite to a threesome with...
Lv6 Girlfriend/Boyfriend = Figures.

Now the top level consists usually of one person, unless you got some sort of harem. The 2 levels below usually consist of very, very few people and normally people who you can stay in touch with after you graduated from school (facebook doesn't count). Levels 2 & 3 normally last only a few years, university days or such. Level 1 lasts a year at best.

On levels one to three you can usually just shit on them. Levels four to six take time to get to and they take care and trust, but when you're there it's the best thing that can happen.

Coincidentally, there is but one persone whom I truly consider a "best friend", I'd probably even would invite him to a bank robbery but the threesome is out of question here.

Mistgun_Zero · « **Reply #33 on:** July 18, 2011, 08:05:26 AM »

The best friend I mentioned is on Lv 5. I would invite him to a bank robbery and a threesome, but he is too pure to oblige.

scotsman · « **Reply #34 on:** July 18, 2011, 08:23:39 AM »

I have 1 friend and I've never met him but I've known him long enough to not trust him if we were going to rob a bank. Does that count? Bastard would probably hand me in or take my share.

What a lonely life I live...

Remember that enemies are tax deductible, friends are not

I have 3 really good friends. We help each other, hang out with each other, get drunk together and sometimes go on trips together. I don't need or want more friends as I don't have time to commit to more real good friends like that.

Personally I think the word "friend" is tossed around like trash nowadays. The word lost its meaning when you can have 500 "friends" on facebook and other crap like that.

Having lots of friends is overrated, but it's nice having one good friend.

donald1 · « **Reply #38 on:** July 18, 2011, 01:13:12 PM »

i have one good friend i am going to meet at Otakon. having 500 friends like on facebook and crap is stupid cuz im pretty sure 95% of those people only friended you to play a game and have no idea who you even are. i almost feel sorry for those who have so many "friends". having one friend you actually talk to is better than 1000 friends who cant even take the time to say hi to you in a lousy message.

pingryanime · « **Reply #39 on:** July 18, 2011, 05:11:18 PM »

Whenbit comes to friends, I consider myself lucky.

I can count 4 people at the toP of my head, whom I can call "best friends". Some, I talk to more than others, but i can count on them to be there when I nee tem. Mianly because they've already done just that multiple tims. I'm willing to even say I'd take a bullet for them if a situation arose.

Better yet, I have a few online friends who we always talk about actually meeting up and hanging out with one day.
